ESA's #Juice lifted off on an #Ariane5 rocket from @EuropeSpacePort in French Guiana at 13:14 BST/14:14 CEST on 14 April. This launch marks the beginning of an ambitious voyage to uncover the secrets of the ocean worlds around the giant planet #Jupiter👉 https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Juice/ESA_s_Juice_lifts_off_on_quest_to_discover_secrets_of_Jupiter_s_icy_moons

We are on the way to #Jupiter and its ocean worlds! 🤩

With the critical milestone of solar array deployment completed, we have a mission!

The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) mission is scheduled to launch tonight at 21:15 JST! This photograph was snapped by Project Manager for JUICE-Japan Saito Yoshifumi at Europe's spaceport in Kourou.

The launch window is apparently 1 second (!) due to the precise alignment of the planets needed for all the gravity kicks JUICE needs to reach Jupiter. This requires a perfect count down! But if missed, there are similar windows all month.

Despite its scientific interest, and proximity to Earth, Venus is one of the lesser-studied planets in our Solar System. Learn how if we #SaveVERITAS we can get one step closer to answering one of the great questions in planetary science 💡

🛰️🗞️ Juicy news ... Less than 10 days to launch 🚀!
#ESAJuice was transferred to the Final Assembly Building and is now installed on @ariane5 !
Few more intense days for the final configurations & we are ready to go 💫!

Not a good news for affordable access to #space. One fewer offer in the landscape.

Carl Sagan dreamed of sailing on sunbeams before founding The Planetary Society in 1980. Our members helped us fulfill that dream. Reflect with us on the LightSail mission and how sunlight will continue to propel space exploration further ☀️
